What kind of changes would take place if cats,rats and rabbits were introduced to an environment like this Read the passage and find out what happened to Macquarie island and answer four questions.
新课程
MACQUARIE ISLAND: from Chaos to Conservation
1. I am standing on Macquarie Island, in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, halfway between Australia and Antarctica. Strong winds and stormy seas have helped sculpt its long, thin shape. The green grass and bare rock of its landscape contrast dramatically, giving it a wild and natural beauty. No visitor would think it surprising that the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nor would they fail to imagine how its native inhabitants, including royal penguins, king penguins, and elephant seals, existed in perfect harmony with their natural habitat for thousands of years.
新课程
Para1.What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph
A. Macquarie Island has its natural beauty
B. It’s difficult for humans to live on Macquarie Island.
C. Varieties of animals and plants live on Macquarie Island.
D. Macquarie Island’s native inhabitants contrast dramatically with nature.
新课程
2. But the island's more recent history tells a different story. It's a tragic story that began in 1810 when humans arrived on the island. In their ships they unknowingly brought rats and mice. These small animals quickly took over the island, eating the birds' eggs and attacking baby birds. Cats were brought to the island to control the rats and mice. Unfortunately, the cats subsequently developed an appetite for the birds, too.

3.Meanwhile, rabbits were introduced to the island as a source of food for humans. Loose on the island, they did what rabbits do best--they multiplied rapidly and began eating the native vegetation and digging holes, which caused soil erosion. The exploding rabbit population provided plentiful food for the cats, meaning that the number of cats also increased. This in turn led to more cats hunting the birds. The end result was that parakeets, once large in number and native to the island, died out in 1891.
新课程
Para3.What do you think was the cause of the extinction of parakeets in 1891
A. The hunters caught the birds for money
B. They couldn't adapt to the environment.
C. The invading animals took over the island
D. The number of cats feeding on them increased.
新课程
4.Even after Macquarie Island became an official nature reserve in the 1970s, the rabbits remained out of control. Experts felt it necessary to come up with a plan to remove all the rabbits from the island. With this goal in mind,a virus was released onto the island. But although the virus caused the rabbit population to decrease from 130, 000 to around 10, 000, it also meant less food for the cats. The cats in consequence turned their attention and their stomachs—back to the native birds, killing up to 60, 000 each year. In the 1980s, traps and dogs were used to catch the cats. The last Macquarie Island cat was caught in 2000.

5.But as the saying goes, "While the cat's away, the mice will play."With the departure of the cats from the island, the mouse and rat population started to increase. And remember those 10, 000 or so rabbits It turned out that they developed an immunity to the virus, and their numbers exploded once again. Then, in 2006, the rabbits' digging caused some land to collapse, and killed a substantial number of penguins. This incident made it clear that the rat, mouse and rabbit problem needed solving once and for all.

6.So, I am here on Macquarie Island to participate in the programme to tackle this very problem. The first step involved poison being dropped from helicopters. The next step is to remove the last remaining invading species, and that's where I come in-with my dogs. They have been trained to find every last one, without harming the native animals. This intervention is a long, much-delayed ending to a sad story, but we humans owe it to the island to give it a happy ending.
